Chelsea Prunty

Chelsea Prunty began dancing and tumbling when she was just 3 years old. She attended Starbound Dance Studio and Duke Ellington School of the Arts and studied jazz, ballet, tap, hip hop, modern and African dance for over 15 years. When not in the gym or dance studio, you could find Chelsea on the track field. Chelsea spent summers training at Jones Haywood (D.C.) and Alvin Ailey (N.Y). In exchange for dance classes Chelsea taught dance to younger kids. She is a graduate from the University of the Arts and holds a Bachelor in Fine Arts in Modern Dance. Since then, she has enjoyed touring with Brian Sanders' Junk and teaching children dance. Now Chelsea has two kids of her own who are currently learning the art of dance. Chelsea has hopes to one day open a dance studio where she will share the joy of dance with our youth.

Briannon Holstein

Briannon has always been a movement enthusiast. She began her training in ballet and competitive gymnastics until she attended Charleston County School of the Arts, where she was exposed to modern dance and realized that dance was her way of life. Her desire to dance only intensified and she continued her studies at University of North Carolina at Greensboro, graduating with a B.A in Dance with a K-12 teaching licensure. Motivated and fueled to learn more, she moved to Philadelphia to continue her process of personal development and community engagement through dance. She is thrilled to be working with Brian Sanders' Junk and is so appreciative to perform FIGMAGO in collaboration with Meg Saligman Studio.
